#morailty — Public Fediverse posts

#WhereWeAre

#Republicans are playing a #deadly game with no #rules, #limits, #ethics, #commonsense, #morailty or #decency. ALL of them, with the exception of a tiny handful, go along.

Repeatedly, the #GOP has shown it will use any tool at its disposal, including State sponsored #terrorism, threatening the #health, #safety, and basic human #rights of Americans, and against #democracy.

Democrats mostly wring their hands, make jokes, call names and post insults on the dead bird site.

The notion of “moral formation” may sound like it belongs in some 19th century handbook. Is the absence of such training what ails American public life? Are we emphasizing self auctualization without regard for the welfare of those around us?

#DavidBrooks makes the case for a new focus on #morailty and #morals which is increasingly absent in our educational institutions and our public dialogue
